I spent half my life in Texas and respect and manners are a big thing in the south. We want to be kind and respectful to others and I never met any racist in the south. The only time i have met a racist was actually in Colorado. Now that doesn’t mean there are none in Texas (after all Texas is a massive state) however with stereotypes and the massive issue the a lot of major media sources, we should not try to get in dumb over dramatic fights for stupid reasons that play into other people’s goals.
